McKinsey Report Conclusion
“All the evidence suggests that COVID-19 vaccines are likely to become available for focused
populations somewhere between the fourth quarter of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021.”
© Credit Union National Association 2020. All rights reserved.
Potential Barriers to Implementation
1. Manufacturing:• Plans for 1 billion doses by end of 2020 & 8 - 9 billion by end of 2021.
2. Effectiveness:• Early vaccines historically not as effective.
3. Targeting:• How will targeting be determined?
4. Adoption:• 35% - 50% of Americans would not get vaccine (Source: Gallup,
Science Magazine).
